GLASS IN ENGLAND.

Historical Notes Concerning It's Intro
ductiOn and General Adoption.
In the latter part of the seventh CEN
tury messengers were sent, according
to the Venerable Bede, from Wear
mouth, England, to Gaul to fetch
makers of glass, who were at that time
unknown in England, that they might
glaze the windows of the church, with
the cloisters and dining-rooms. Bede
adds that "they taught the English
nation their handicraft, which was well
adapted for inolosing the lanterns OF
the church and for the vessels required
for various uses." About this time,
Archbishop Wilfried, of York, "flled
with glass" the windows of the cathe-
dral, previously "open to the weather. ~
and "such glass;" says one, "as per-
mitted the sun to shine through" from
which it may be inferred that glass
was made that was impene-
trable to the suns rays. 1t
was recorded, in connection with
this cathedral, "that great astonish-
ment was excited, and superstitious
suspected, when the moon and
stars were seen through a material
which excluded the inclemency of the
weather." Still, the adoption of glass
was slow; for in 1914 Robert de Linde-
say, Abbot Of Peterborough, employed
glass in "beautifying thirty of the win
dows of his monastery, previously
stuffed with straw to keep out the wind
and rain," and, for some generations
later, the domestic windows of England
were not furnished with glass, but lat
tice. When glass windows were first
introduced they were not fixtures, but
were regarded as movable chattels. In
1899 Lord Coke, in the Common Pleas,
adjudged that "glass annexed to win
dow frames by nails, or in any other
manner, could not be removed, for
without glass it was no perfect house."

Governor Tinhn was the agent TO whom WA
intrusted the frustrating of the plans of Aaron
Burr. It was thought that Burr wished to de-
stroy the Union, or at least to eject o division
oft, and the slight knowledge of his plans
possessed by the Administration at Washington
was sent to Governor Tinhn, with IN order to
arrest the alleged traitors. Governor Tim
acted with much promptness and energy. The
supplies that had been stored by Burr's com
msnds .on Blennerhasset's Island were de-
stroyed and the beautiful island, with its pretty
home, was wantonly sacked by the Ohio troops
1t Is possible that the soldiers were under the

malicious and quite unprovoked. In his mes.

When Governor Thin had finished his second

was introduced to his colleagues In the Senate

young State that had honored him. He was ef-
hcient in securing appropriations for the i'm

SIKH SOLDIERS,
Finely Built Men Who Add Considerable

FInely-Built Men Who Add Considerable
Strength to the Bengal Army.
When we conquered the Punjab the
Sikhs, who had composed Runjeet
Singh's army, enlisted freely in our
newly-raised regiments, and now there
is scarcely regiment in the Bengal
army in which there are not one or more
companies of these men. They are
gifted with all the qualities which go to
make a good soldier. Physically they
are very fine fellows, averaging in our
regiments fully five feet eight inches,
with chest of thirty-six inches. They
are brave and wonderfully enduring;
very abstemious in their diet, seldom
touching meat. and living principally
on unleavened bread with a little clari-
fed butter, and occasionally little
coarse sugar or molasses. They are
splendid walkers, and when going to
their homes on leave will often average
thirty or forty miles a day for week
together in the hottest weather. They
are very handy, as may be supposed, in
the use of the spade, and can throw up
entertainments rapidly and well, and
they are also very expert in the loading
of baggage animals. Ihave seen many
instances of their bravery. One may
mention. We had advanced up hill
to take a position on an exceedingly
hot day in April. One of my officers
succumbed to the heat and fell fainting
just as we reached the position. His
orderly was carrying bottle of soda
water. This he poured over his head,
and it had the effect of reviving him.
We remained under fire here for some
time, and then the object of the advance
having been accomplished the force
was withdrawn and we were directed
to retire. We did SO, followed by the
enemy; When we had gone back some
distance the orderly suddenly remem-
bered that he had left the empty bottle
behind and calmly proposed that he
should, at the risk Of his life, go back
for it.-Mdcmilldn's Magazine.

How Russian Emperor Was Murders


From the Edinburgh Review
The conspirators first met and drank pretty
deep into the night so that none of them were re-
ally sober when they appeared before Paul. They
had already murdered the sentry In the passage
and, on finding that the door to the emperors room
offered some resistance, Pahlen broke 1t open. He
had in his hand when he did 50 u snuffbox given
him by Paul only few days previously, when the
emperor had spoken to him of II conspiracy on foot
and when Pahlen had treasured him by asking how
that could he "For If there we're such thing,
should be sure TO have heard of IT." Now, the half
naked car confronted Pahen with the angry ex-
clamation; what, you there, Pahlen" B,ningsen
then stepped forward acting as spokesman for the
rest, and told the emperor he must abdicate. Up to
this moment, thanks 10 the completely OF the officer
duty at the foot of the Staircase the consprators
had had II all their own way; but now q noise
frightened them and made them fear that rescue
was being attempted 1t really came from the en-
press ROOM She, hearing the scutie, out and
swooned at the back Of paul's door. Al attendant
offered glass Of water, but the Ccssack on guard
in her passGg,, fearing treachery also in this
case, dashed down the glass and ran to fill another
from source he knew was Imprisoned. Meanwhile
to the frenzy of their deep pOati0ns the conspira-
tors now added the stmugnt of fear Paul must
die; he must not be res ued must not survive to tell
who had threatened him, even TO plot, In an en-
forced condnemt Mt, vengeance on those who had
robbed him Of power. lie had nlrCa ly tested the

This Frustrated him. The sash of Pahlen seemed 10
be the weapon most suitable for their purpose

leave few traces Of violence, and which might be

around the einperor's neck and then the officer on
guard "a Russian pur sang noticed a strange In
